So there you are guys, climbing through your fifties. Every time you go to the garden center, that great little market with the fantastic meat and produce, the home improvement center, your favorite wine store, your fitness club, around the neighborhood or even, heaven forbid, the mall, you see them. Attractive, often surprisingly friendly young women---youn...
In previous parts to this story, Amy received her birthday present of DJ Qualls and Jason Mewes from Tasha. In this episode, Tasha gets what, or who, she's always wanted. IV. Tasha's Interlude They let her pick the activity for the evening. There was not even a question. She had to get up to Avellea for the races. Tasha was a self-confessed lover of fast...
The Vampire Raoul Wahid screamed painfully as I thrust my stake through his heart, and within seconds he crumbled into a pile of dust. Like all newbies Raoul was aggressive, vicious and utterly convinced of his own invincibility. That's why it took me all of five minutes to slay him. Freshly risen from the grave, he went to a movie theater and tried to prey...
Kristin pulled into the parking lot of the large box hardware store she had chosen. The lot was nearly empty as mid morning on a weekday is not prime time for hardware stores. Kristin was counting on that fact. As she walked in, she thought how cliché this all was. The fact that she associated hardware and tools with manliness and virility was both sexist an...
Workout Secret Josh could hear the rock music blaring from the varsity weight room even before he put his key in the lock. Surely no one would be working out this early in the morning after the last game in the season, so the janitor must have left the stereo and all the lights on. As he entered, however, a big smile spread across his face. The person on th...
This might be a bit slow and far too sweet for many people's tastes, but if you like a man who takes his time.... ------- Raoul's library, suffused by the soft, warm tones of Rubinstein's 1965 recording of Chopin's nocturnes, rests in the moonlight filtering through its stained glass ceiling. He sits on one of the sofas at the near end of the room, tryi...
*** Excerpts from Stephanie's Research Diary August 12: Today, at the base of a tree, Jacob found a nest with a completely new species of beetle. It's large enough to fill up most of the palm of my hand. They occasionally release a small dose of a sweet-smelling pink pollen-like substance. Jacobson inhaled most of a dose when he first found them, which pro...
Guys didn't read, and therefore, didn't believe in fairytales. They weren't raised to be princes. They weren't taught to seek out Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty or Snow White. There were no dragons to slay, curses to break, or glass slippers to fill. There was no such thing as true love, love at first sight or a soul mate. It was fuck or be fucked, and you l...
For the most part, I just try to mind my own business and stay in my own lane. I wasn't looking for a hookup, and had absolutely no idea who she was when I noticed her for the first time. That's not to say, that it was the first time I'd seen her. She was in and out, around the buildings during my work day. I figured her for one of the many college kids rese...
The bonfire on the beach went exactly as I had expected. James was a jerk, everyone was drunk, and a lot of girls ended up crying. What I did not expect was the question James asked after he drove me back to the house. "Do you have a date for the wedding?" We were sitting in his hummer and I looked over to see him staring at me. "No. Why?" "You sure you...
